"I regard this book as an essential tool for the practising geriatrician. Twenty-six sections cover the whole breadth of the practice of geriatric medicine and there are many outstanding contributions. The editors have gone for active young contributors and have produced some outstanding chapters." - Jeremy R. Playfer, Age and Aging (Praise for Previous Edition)
